Feature Request - PDroid Support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What Phone Are you using--Maguro(GSM)-TORO(Verizon)-TOROPLUS(Sprint)
Maguro

What is the build date & version listed in the phone settings
03/07/13 v5.1 

What Kernel are you using when this issue appears
3.0.31-Sourcerizer

What Gapps did you install(If obscure please tell us where you got them)
goo.im

Would it be possible for you to compile PDroid patches into the ROM? It 
supports 4.2.2 and CM10.1. Nothing will be used unless the user installs the 
app to manage it. 

The version with 4.2.2 support, compiled patches (though not for this ROM) and 
link to Github is here:

I've been unable to compile this ROM or I would've submitted the patches. Thanks

It puts a layer between content providers and apps. Instead of just blocking 
access to permissions like location, this can also spoof it. An advantage would 
be Pandora wanting access to contacts or Netflix accessing logcat. Usually, 
you'd try to block it (neither of these work with Droidwall blocking 
Internet..) in the Manifest or similar but the app will just crash. PDroid can 
spoof or return an empty result which lets the app continue to run properly. 

Here's the app users would install to manage permissions (without it, PDroid is 
completely disabled):

I've been trying to figure out how to compile this ROM but can't figure out the 
different repos or else I'd submit the patches myself. Thanks for looking into 
this.

the next version will have a tool like this built in it is not this but i

Thank You for filing at the Sourcery bug and or enhancment center.  Sourcery 
has release version 5.3 which we believe is the best version yet. But 
unfortunately This is also the final release of Sourcery. SO we wont be taking 
any further requests.
Thanks again for taking the Journey with us and hope V5.3 will tied you oe for 
a while. Everything will continue to function. 
And we will support and fix bugs we can with minimal changes to V5.3
If not there are many great roms out there. Im sure youll find a new home.
Thanks again
